Halloween is one of our favorite holidays because it signifies the beginning of fall, which means sipping hot apple cider in the evenings, going for hayrides with the family, and, of course, picking out the perfect pumpkin from the pumpkin patch. Halloween is also the start of the holiday season, getting everyone into the spirit of hanging with friends and family and enjoying the cooler weather. This year, try some of these Halloween arts and crafts ideas to keep your kids entertained and create some adorable homemade decorations for your house.

We may be a bit biased, but diamond art painting is absolutely one of our favorite fun things to do with the family at home. It’s easy to work on one large project together, or you can each select your own individual project. Make time every few days or once a week to have the whole family sit down and add to your diamond artwork. If you have very young children in your home, it’s probably best to work on the project as a family so that you can help properly place the drills and prevent them from misusing the small beads. Diamond art painting can be extremely beneficial for adults, as crafting helps to ease our minds and reduce feelings of anxiety and depression. For children, diamond painting helps develop their creativity, fine motor skills and focus, making it a win-win for everyone!
You can even make diamond painting an annual tradition. Some families work together to complete one large painting each year, gradually building a collection of spooky artwork to display in their home. This approach transforms diamond painting from a simple Halloween art idea to a beloved tradition that everyone in the family looks forward to and enjoys. As you look back on each year’s painting, you’ll see your family’s growth and changing interests. And thanks to the vast assortment of Halloween diamond painting kits available, you’ll never run out of new designs to try. Whether you and your family enjoy charming decor or prefer exploring the darker side of this mystical holiday, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
In the spirit of the holiday, Diamond Art Club® has added a variety of new seasonal designs for both kids and adults. Check out these dazzling ideas and select a few for your new home decorations.

While the designs above are well-suited to family crafting sessions, adults often seek more sophisticated and atmospheric Halloween diamond painting kits that capture the mysterious, darker side of the season. At Diamond Art Club™, we have you covered with a wide selection of spooky and cozy craft painting kits for adults.
Dark Fantasy Collection: If you’re drawn to the shadowy, spine-tingling aspects of Halloween rather than the adorably whimsical, our Dark Fantasy collection delivers exactly what you’re looking for! These designs feature hauntingly beautiful imagery that wouldn’t look out of place in a classic horror film. Think moonlit graveyards, luminous skeletal figures and elaborate Gothic architecture. The level of detail in these Halloween art designs surpasses what you’ll find in some of our more family-friendly options, with intricate shading and dramatic color palettes that create a truly spooky atmosphere.
Important note: These designs contain mature themes, including skulls, dark imagery and potentially scary content. They’re best suited to adult crafters and should be reviewed before displaying in shared family spaces or children’s rooms.
Family-Friendly Options for Adults: We also have kits that challenge and intrigue adults while remaining appropriate for younger eyes. Harry Potter™ diamond painting kits offer the perfect blend of Halloween spirit and year-round appeal for fans of the Wizarding World. These officially licensed designs capture iconic moments, beloved characters and the magical atmosphere that has enchanted readers and moviegoers for decades.
Witch diamond painting kits fill the space between scary and whimsical. Unlike the cartoonish imagery found in children’s Halloween decorations, our witchy diamond art kits feature elegant spell-casters surrounded by their familiars, mystical symbols, and atmospheric elements like glowing moons and swirling mist.

Kids love to do a craft that they can eat, which is why you’ll probably want to have plenty of extra marshmallows on hand for this one. All you need, besides marshmallows of course, is white paint, toothpicks, a straw, scissors and black construction paper. (Make sure that your marshmallows are the standard square shape.) Use the scissors to round the corners off the marshmallows, creating a ghost shape and then use the straw to carve out two eyes and a spooky, open mouth. Insert the toothpicks into the back side of the marshmallow as a handle, dip the front into the paint and gently stamp it onto the black construction paper. Voila! You’ve got yourself a homemade ghost stamp!

This is a quick, easy craft that makes a charming indoor decoration. Get some orange construction paper and use a template or freehand draw several pumpkins on it. Cut them all out and either draw or cut out a jack-o’-lantern smile for each one. Feel free to get creative and make each pumpkin unique. Then, use a hole punch to make a single hole at the top of the pumpkin and thread cute burlap rope through the hole. Be sure to tie a knot by the hole to prevent the pumpkins from sliding around. Continue doing this until your garland is the length you’d like, and hang it where desired.
As a kid, the best part of Halloween is definitely seeing how much candy you’ve raked in after a long night of trick-or-treating. But, in order to get the most candy possible, you need to have the perfect bag. This year, get your kids ready for Halloween by organizing a night where everyone designs and makes their own candy bags to carry on Halloween. There’s a lot of room for creativity here. We recommend using sturdy, fabric bags that can be found at craft stores or online because this material is better able to support heavy loads of candy over alternatives like plastic or paper. Help the kids plan out their designs in pencil first and then use fabric paint or markers to create their ideal trick-or-treating bag.
An easy and fun craft to make with the family, these adorable lollipop ghosts only require white coffee filters or tissues (whichever is more readily available), ribbon, a black marker and, of course, lollipops of your choosing. Simply cover the lollipop with the tissue or the coffee filter and then tie Halloween-colored ribbons beneath the ghost’s “head” (where the stem meets the lollipop). Use your marker to add two eyes, and you’ll have the cutest candies on the block.
Nothing adds to your outdoor decorations like these spooky DIY mummy Mason jars, lighting the path to your door. You can place these on the front steps, your porch, or the path to your drive to help lead trick-or-treaters in the right direction. Purchase a set of Mason jars and then wrap medical gauze around the jars to mimic the appearance of a mummy. Use a clear drying glue to keep the gauze extra secure and add googly eyes. You can put real or battery-operated candles inside the jars to add a bit of spooky light.
Kids tend to love popsicle stick crafts–perhaps it awakens their creativity with all the possibilities. Whatever the reason, this is the perfect popsicle craft to keep them occupied. Line up five or six popsicle sticks vertically and glue them together, creating Frankenstein’s head. Next, glue one stick horizontally, across the back, about a third of the way from the bottom. (This serves as the bolt in his neck.) Once the glue has dried, it’s time to paint. You can make a traditional Frankenstein-looking monster or create your own version of a creepy character.

This craft can be done year-round with any theme, but for Halloween, you can create candy poppers with a seasonal touch. You’ll need to gather some empty toilet paper rolls, or buy some online or at a local craft store. Next, lay the roll down, long ways, centered on one edge of a piece of tissue paper–orange, black, purple or green work best for Halloween. Fill the empty roll with the treats of your choosing, then tape the edge of the tissue paper to the roll. As if it were a rolling pin, roll the tube and tissue together so the paper covers the cardboard, then tape it down again. Tie off the extra paper on both ends with ribbon (making it look kind of like a Tootsie Roll) and add decoration to the outside if you please or leave as is!
Here’s another great year-round craft. As most parents know, kids love any activity that involves making a mess. Luckily, slime is actually pretty easy to clean up—but don’t tell the kids that. You’ll find dozens of different slime recipes on the internet, but this is a simple one that will get the job done quickly. Pour a bottle of classic white glue into a bowl. Select a food dye color you like, and add four drops of it into the glue, stirring until incorporated. In a separate container, add one teaspoon of Borax to one cup of warm water and mix well. Then, slowly pour a small amount of your borax and water mixture into the glue and stir. Keep adding little bits of the borax mixture until the slime has formed and is no longer sticky to touch.
Note: Borax is the most easily accessible activator for this craft, but you can use any type of liquid starch to make your slime.
You probably already have all the supplies you need right at home to make these fun, seasonal magnets. Help your kids pick out some small, flat rocks from the yard and then create a designated area for painting. You and your children can get creative on what types of spooky characters you’re going to paint. Carefully paint the rocks and allow them time to dry. (Hint: Googly eyes make a fun addition when possible.) After the rocks are completely dry, it’s time to turn them over and glue a small, round magnet to the back. Once the glue dries, they’re ready to stick right on your refrigerator!
A craft that also promotes recycling? We love to see it! Take an empty plastic milk container, clean out the inside, and remove the label. Dry the container off and cut a palm-sized hole in the back–where it will be hidden–so that you can fit a light inside. Paint the outside orange with the jack-o’-lantern expression of your choice. (Hint: This craft can also be done with a ghost design as well.) After the paint has dried, add a short strand of battery-powered string lights or tealights to the inside, and your lanterns are ready for display.

Everyone looks forward to carving pumpkins as Halloween approaches. However, it can be messy, some kids hate the odd texture of the squishy gourds and the pumpkins typically rot quickly. If you’d prefer to add some cute decorations to your front porch or inside your home without worrying that the pumpkins will go bad before Halloween, try painting your pumpkins instead. This is a great way to prevent the usual mess and add some super creative pumpkins to your decorations.
Pro Tip: For a really interesting pumpkin craft, glue bits of broken crayons to the top of the pumpkin near the stem. Then, set your blow dryer to high heat and use it to melt the crayons. This creates a unique, colorful dripping design to your pumpkin! To make the colors stand out even more, paint the pumpkin white first and allow it to dry before adding the crayons.
A quick, easy craft you can do with young children, cotton ball ghosts only require googly eyes, cotton balls, glue and construction paper. Cut a ghost shape out of your white construction paper. Then, use white glue or a glue gun to attach the cotton balls to the paper, adding your googly eyes last. You can even punch a hole at the top if you want to hang your adorable little ghouls.
With fall just around the corner, it’s time to prepare for Halloween! The kids have picked out their costumes and the stores are filled with supersized bags of candy, so bring the fun of the holiday into your own home with these Halloween arts and crafts ideas. You and your children will have a blast working together on projects–from spooky diamond art paintings for kids to whipping up batches of slime. You can even use many of these Halloween art ideas to create your own unique home decorations with a personal twist.
